Performance of pelican optimizer for energy losses minimization via optimal photovoltaic systems in distribution feeders.

ABSTRACT: In distribution grids, excessive energy losses not only increase operational costs but also contribute to a larger environmental footprint due to inefficient resource utilization. Ensuring optimal placement of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency and reliability in power distribution networks. This research introduces the Pelican Optimizer (PO) algorithm to optimally integrate solar PV systems to radial electrical distribution grids. The PO is a novel bio-inspired optimization algorithm that draws inspiration from pelicans' intelligence and behavior which incorporates unique methods for exploration and exploitation, improving its effectiveness in various optimization challenges. It introduces a hyper-heuristic for phase change, allowing the algorithm
